Supporting Electronics Outreach and Education at Canyon Crest Academy
Alvin Loke

The "big chapter recently" secured an additional $1,400 from SSCS for pre-college engagement and activities (already received $1,000 in usual annual subsidies for 2022).  Pre-college is something I really want to push for in my limited capacity as SSCS Chapters Chair, and I hope to secure and allocate even more funding towards such activities going forward.  It's the best way to get kids into EE and seems like the obvious solution to building much needed diversity (gender, geography, ethnicity, etc.) in our field.

As such, I have asked Tony to provide a wish list of things we can provide to him and support his cause at CCA.  Here's what he gave me:
$500 scholarship. Female.  I already have a senior in mind for this who also is pursuing EE!
$500 scholarship. Male.
Spectrum analyzer to support audio units in electronics classes - The spectrum analyzers on Amazon ~ $1300.  However, I looked up used ones thinking I could probably find an old Agilent 8591A around - and there are some!  link These are much more reasonably priced (~$600).
$500.  NXP Racer.  If IEEE can fund the first one, we could use the coupon you secured for another two free ones which would be a good option for setting up an enrichment program and getting a few teams together.
How can we go about tapping into the San Diego Section funds to provide the above items for Tony?  The year is coming to a close and I'd like to get as much funding as possible.

Let me know if it's easier for me to commute to your front door and chat briefly in person. :-)

By the way, I recently gave the attached lecture to Tony's class on November 10. (see outreach PDF in the media section of this event)

Thanks, 
Alvin Loke
